Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 413 The Oracle of Hades

When the messenger rushed to the battlefield, Nars was attacking the city. Bluestone City was not a strong city. The city gate was smashed and a section of the city wall collapsed. Under the fierce attack of more than 20,000 people, the city was riddled with holes. Bluestone City is like a leaf swaying in the wind.

Stanley is still dying, and the corpses under the city can still fight for him.

Marquis Werner of Bluestone is also very tenacious, he would rather die than give up his land. Among the marquises in the southwest, Manda reserved a great deal of power for Webner, because people like him were trustworthy.

But tenacious spirit alone could not influence the final battle situation. Except for the two of them, all the other generals gave up, including Che Erdan.

If all roads had not been blocked by the enemy, Che Erdan would have abandoned the city and fled long ago. He knew that Manda was very strict with those who were timid, but he cherished his own life more, and he did not want to die on the battlefield like this.

Finally, at his wife's begging, Webner opened the tunnel exit and allowed them to leave Bluestone City with some women and children.

Che Erdan put on a long skirt, smeared on rouge, and was about to blend into the group of women, but was caught by Lu Lian.

"Look, who is this? Who is so shameless!" Lu Lian spat at Che Erdan.

Che Erdan wiped his face and said: "This is also a helpless move. There is no need for us to stay here and wait to die."

Lulian spat again: "They are women and you are a soldier. Don't you know what shame is?"

"I know it's embarrassing, and I want to leave decently, but..."

Lu Lian was about to spit at him again, but Che Erdan quickly covered his face: "Stop spitting, my makeup is all gone."

Seeing the women and children entering the tunnel one after another, Che Erdan was very anxious. If he didn't leave, he would have no chance. He was about to persuade Lu Li'an a few words, when he suddenly heard the shouts of killing outside the city became much quieter.

The enemy troops were repulsed?

Che Erdan looked at Lu Li'an in surprise, and Lu Li'an spat at him again.

"Hurry up and change your clothes and wash your face. Don't let Stanley see you like this. He will chop you with his sword!"

Che Erdan nodded and whispered: "Thank you for the reminder..."

Lulian interrupted Che Erdan with a look of disgust: "Don't thank me, I didn't want to help you. Manda respects you very much. If Stanley kills you, Manda will definitely be angry with him!"

The enemy's retreat was so sudden that neither Stanley nor Webner could see clearly the enemy's intentions.

It wasn't until the enemy troops completely left the battlefield that Webner excitedly shouted: "We defeated the enemy again!"

The soldiers on the top of the city cheered and cheered. Stanley did not want to spoil the atmosphere, but he knew in his heart that the enemy did not retreat because of defeat.

But what he didn't expect was that the enemy retreated because they lost their commander. Nars, who was directing the battle, received the news of the fall of Drawshaft City and fainted directly on the battlefield.

Drawsha City, one of the most important cities in the north, was actually attacked by hundreds of demon believers.

Are the other lords just sitting back and watching? Is Archduke Denke sitting idly by and ignoring this?

When he woke up, he saw Count Cyrus (Roma's father) guarding him.

"It's a pity that we can't save your daughter."

Cyrus shook his head and said: "I never planned to save her. I just wanted to wash away the shame of my family. Sir, give me an order. We will immediately withdraw our troops and take back Drawsha City."

Nars hesitated for a moment. As long as they persisted for a few more days, they could definitely capture Bluestone City.

But as long as you are a little more rational, you can understand one thing: Bluestone City cannot be compared with Drawshaft City.

Not to mention the huge difference in value between the two cities, everything Nars has comes from his territory. Without Drawshaft City, his army will lose supplies. Even if he captures Bluestone City, he will not be able to maintain the follow-up. The battle to capture the entire southwest is nothing more than a joke.

What's more, his soldiers will soon be shaken. Their homes are gone. Their wives, children, and all their belongings are all in Zhusha City. If they lose everything, there is no possibility for them to continue fighting.

That night, Nars issued an order to withdraw his troops.

But Stanley will not let him go easily. Chasing the fleeing enemies is what every general likes to do most. It is the easiest way to harvest heads.

He planned to take Marquis Webner with him in pursuit. This was a great opportunity to accumulate merit.

Webner's two sons are preparing to enter the level, and he himself also wants to advance from the second level to the third level, but he has never found a way to advance.

Manda can help him find ways, collect sacrifices, and even bear the corresponding expenses for him, but this requires a lot of merit, and exchanging the enemy's heads for merit is the most effective method.

According to Manda's rules, each enemy's head is worth two merit points. As long as you save 200 merit points, you can win the opportunity to enter the next level. It takes 500 merit points to upgrade from the first level to the second level. It takes 1,200 merit points to reach the third level.

There are more than 3,000 enemy corpses under the city, which add up to more than 7,000 merit points. Based on this calculation, the merit points are enough.

But these meritorious deeds are not for Webner alone. Everyone in the five thousand soldiers guarding the city has a share. One meritorious deed can be exchanged for three gold coins, or it can be saved for promotion. If you save ten meritorious points, you can be promoted to the army. Commander, thirty points of merit can be promoted to a captain, and three hundred points of merit can be promoted to a centurion. Merit is the capital of a soldier's life.

Since it was a city defense battle, soldiers could not go out of the city to harvest the enemy's heads during the battle, so merits could only be distributed according to official rank and position on the battlefield.

There need to be more officers, more shield soldiers and spearmen to fight the enemy hand-to-hand. All the merits are distributed, and only a few dozen points are left for Webner.

Of course, after the war, Manda will give additional rewards. Webner should get a second-class meritorious service, which can be directly exchanged for a thousand meritorious points, but this still cannot cover the cost of promotion.

Chasing the enemy is completely different. Heads are much easier to get than when defending the city. Whoever cuts off the head belongs to whoever.

Most of the merits will be taken away by the cavalry. They will hang the severed heads under the necks of the horses. When the merits are actually calculated, they will contribute part of the heads to their officers, and the officers will also contribute part of the heads. To the commander-in-chief, this is the law of survival in the army. Cavalry who do not know how to contribute will be assigned to a very bad position in the next charge. Not only will they not get a kill, but they are also likely to lose their lives.

With this wave of achievements, it was enough to offset the consumption of entering and upgrading. But after thinking about it, Webner still chose to stay in the city.

"Every inch of Bluestone City has the blood of soldiers, and the enemy may still counterattack. I will never entrust Bluestone City to a bloodless person."

Stanley understood what Webner meant. If Stanley and Webner left Bluestone City at the same time, the task of defending the city would be handed over to Cherdan.

Webner didn't trust Cerdan, and Stanley had nothing to say. He didn't see some things, but he saw some things. Cerdan's previous performance was indeed disappointing.

"When I chop off a few more heads, I will share some of the merit with you." Stanley led a thousand cavalry to chase the enemy.

It was impossible to pursue fiercely. Once the enemy counterattacked, they would attack Stanley. However, the enemy's team was very long, and the gains from following behind were not small. Stanley pursued for three days, killing more than 3,000 enemies, and also looted There was a lot of baggage.

At night, Stanley hugged Lulian in the tent and fell into a deep sleep early. He decided to withdraw his troops after another day of pursuit tomorrow. Nars's patience had been exhausted. The way to survive on the battlefield was to give up when the situation was good.

But he suddenly got out of bed in the middle of the night, without any clothes on, and ran into the mountains with a shovel.

No one knew where he went. The soldiers did not dare to take any further action and could only stay where they were, waiting for Stanley to return.

The wait lasted another three days, but Stanley came back covered in mud.

"The divine blood stone, promotion stone statue and promotion sacrifice," Stanley opened the bag and laughed loudly at Lulian, "Hades gave me the oracle, Hades gave me the gift, I know that the gods have not forgotten I!"
